[Paleopsych] marriage and poverty

[Steve Hovland]

For a number of years I hung out in the ballroom
dance world.

It was filled with people who were unable to have
relationships but needed contact with the other sex.

Amusing but possibly right on target.  If you come across any "left 
overs" from the advocates of marriage for the poor, you might suggest 
they resubmit to the marriage pool.  I know way too many females post 30 
who cannot find any likely prospects.  Then again, there are many post 
30 males who don't wish to enter the marriage scene.  I think the 
problem is greater than "no one available".  Maybe an examination of the 
"why" might enlighten the question.
